BEIJING, August 6 /Christian Newswire/ -- Three American Christian pro-life leaders will lead a demonstration in Tiananmen Square today, August 6, at 2 PM local time.  The leaders are Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney, Director of the Washington DC based Christian Defense Coalition; Brandi Swindell of Boise Idaho, National Director of Generation Life; and Michael McMonagle, of Philadelphia, national Catholic pro-life activist and founder of Generation Life.

The group is speaking out against the human rights abuses of the Chinese government against their own people.  They are focusing on religious persecution against Christians and other faith groups, forced abortion, the crushing of Tibet and her people, and the denial of fundamental civil liberties.

As part of their demonstration for human rights the group will kneel in prayer, display a banner that reads "Jesus Christ is Lord" in Chinese and English, and leave flowers to honor those killed in the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

More information, videos and photos will be made available.
